Anyone have issues getting drives recognized from the HBA?
I've got the FS12-TY model of the C2100 with an IBM M1115 cross-flashed to the LSI 9211-8i in IT mode with firmware version P20.
I have (2) Monoprice Mini-SAS SFF-8087 cables going from this to the backplane.
The card is detected fine and I can get into the config using the Ctrl-C option. It shows the card as being in IT mode, but doesn't show any drives.
I do see the drives getting power when the server is powered on and I've tried 5 different known-working drives ranging from 1TB to 4TB in size.
I've also tried several jumper combinations - jumper 15 off with j16-18 on. Jumpers15-18 all on, Jumpers 15-17 on with jumper18 off. None made a difference.
I have a hard time believing it's the cables since they are brand new, but I've ordered a different brand just to try that.
Any ideas?
